After the indigenous people, the Spaniards populated Nicaragua. After that, the largest immigrant group is German. The Germans came to Nicaragua after the First World War and populated many of the mountain, pine forest areas in the north of Nicaragua, which are evidently reminiscent of the Black Forest in Germany.

In the 1600s we had the English bring slaves, who stayed on the Atlantic. Of course, the Spanish came to Nicaragua as well. That’s why the Nicaraguan people became a mix of features. In Nicaragua we have people who look Mexican, Mongolian, Incan, and also we have people from Germany.
During the Gold Rush, many people wanted to go from the eastern part of the US to California. One of the best ways to do that at that time was through Nicaragua. (The Panama Canal hadn’t been built.) Vanderbilt made a fortune moving people from the Atlantic side of Nicaragua to the Pacific by carriage and by boat, where they could continue their journey to California. Some of those people working stayed in Nicaragua and we have their descendants here in Nicargua today.
